The present document defines Product Specific Requirements for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of Smartphones so that 
it is possible to compare the LCA between different smartphone models on SKU level (e.g. considering different 
memory configurations). The present document provides a methodology for evaluating the environmental impact of 
smartphones objectively and transparently and is based upon the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) framework standardized 
in ETSI ES 203 199 [1] and IEC 63366 [i.1]. The purpose of the present document is to: 
• Provide smartphone-specific requirements, i.e. Product Specific Rules (PSR), in addition to those of ETSI 
ES 203 199 [1] and IEC 63366 [i.1] to ensure comparability of LCA studies of smartphones on SKU level. 
• Harmonize the LCAs of smartphones. 
• Increase the transparency and facilitate the interpretation of LCA studies of smartphones. 
• Facilitate the communication of LCA studies of smartphones on SKU level. 
The present document is valid for all types of smartphones. Moreover, the present document defines a set of 
requirements for which the LCA practitioners will comply. Comparisons of results from LCA studies of smartphones 
which belong to the same product family, including assessments which have been performed by different organizations, 
are within the scope of the present document.

The present document specifies the accessibility requirements applicable to ICT products and services, together with a 
description of the test procedures and evaluation methodology for each accessibility requirement. 
The present document is intended for use by designers, developers, evaluators, manufacturers, market surveillance 
entities, procurers, researchers, and anyone else interested in the accessibility of ICT products and services. 
The present document is not intended to apply to assistive technologies that are designed specifically for use by people 
with disabilities, except for requirement 11.5.2.4 that requires assistive technologies to use the documented platform 
accessibility services, although making assistive technologies usable and applicable for people with multiple disabilities 
is desirable. The requirements do apply to the launch of assistive technologies since that is a function of the platform, 
not the assistive technology. 
The present document supports the implementation of Directive (EU) 2016/2102 on the accessibility of the websites 
and mobile applications of public sector bodies [i.27], and of Directive (EU) 2019/882 on the accessibility of ICT 
products and services [i.29]. The coverage of the essential requirements of these Directives is given in Annexes ZA and 
ZB. 
The present document contains the necessary accessibility requirements and provides a reference document such that if 
procedures are followed by different actors, the results of testing are similar and the interpretation of those results is 
clear. The test descriptions and evaluation methodology included in the present document are elaborated to a level of 
detail compliant with ISO/IEC 17007:2009 [i.14], so that conformance testing can give conclusive results.
